Nga mihi a te Tumuaki

Kia ora Whanau. Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou - greetings to you all. 

Geraldine Primary is kura that has a positive, nurturing and community centred culture. 
It embodies exciting, challenging and diverse opportunities, so that we empower our tamariki, kaiako and whānau to flourish and succeed. 
Our kura builds resilience and recognises that making mistakes is an essential part of learning. 
We have an exciting forward thinking curriculum that prepares our tamariki to face any local, national and global situations and through collaboration and leadership opportunities are ready to embrace the next stages in their lives. 
Most importantly our environment is accepting, caring, safe and fun. 
What an exciting time to be part of the Geraldine Primary whanau. Please come and visit our great kura and see for yourselves.
